Keyword generator for stock sites
Enter 1–3 words about your image — the tool expands them into a ready list of 30–49 keywords: synonyms, related concepts and popular combos like “concept”, “background”, “isolated”. Runs in your browser with built-in dictionaries, nothing is sent anywhere.
How to use the generator
Type the main subject word, hit “Generate keywords” and copy the list. Remove irrelevant variants, then run the list through our metadata validator to catch duplicates, stop words and accidental brand mentions.
Why it works
Buyers don't search with single words — they use combos: “cat isolated”, “cat white background”, “cat closeup”. The generator builds these combinations automatically from its modifier and synonym dictionaries, saving 10–15 minutes of manual keywording per file.
Runs in your browser with built-in dictionaries. After generating, validate the list with the metadata validator.
How many keywords should I use?
Adobe Stock allows up to 49, Shutterstock up to 50 (minimum 7), Freepik up to 40. The sweet spot is 25–40 highly relevant tags — the first 7–10 words weigh the most in search ranking.
Which language should keywords be in?
English — all major agencies index English tags. Our service generates English metadata automatically.
Can I just copy the whole list?
Better to review it and drop irrelevant words first — keyword spam hurts your search placement. Then validate the list with our metadata validator.
